The "Basics of Lexicology" is a concise guide to fundamental lexicological theory, supplemented with practical exercises and solutions. It is designed primarily for students of English studies and is structured to reflect the organization of a semester course. The vocabulary of English is described in a logical sequence, starting from the linguistic sign, types and changes of meaning, through word formation processes, relationships between lexical units, and properties of individual parts of speech, to chapters on regional variations of English and the historical development of its lexicon.
